- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018My coworker and I have been studying the guide and we have found it to be very helpful. We haven’t taken the exam yet but we are close because of this study guide. We especially love the way the study guide breaks down the chapters then breaks down the important parts of the chapter. Thumbs up from us.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2021I have used this book on and off to help with studying in the past few years. It has helped me realize my weak spots I need to brush up on. Many of the questions are poorly written and give the wrong answers.
11. DEA and patient phone number are both not required.
36. All are side effects of montelukast listed on FDA boxed warning.
47 and 56. NDC is made up of 11 numbers (leading zeros are assumed). The first 5 digits refer to the manufacturer.
78. Succinylcholine is USED AS an anesthesia. Does not TREAT anesthesia.
15. Drams can measure mass and liquid volume. This question doesn’t tell you which one and still doesn’t give correct answer.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017I got this book along with the study guide and I work in the medical field in the administrative side. But I am sort of in the stage what do I want to be when I grow up so I tried different professions by reading books, and taking practice tests. Before I spent a huge amount on tuition. Some of the answers were not I wouldn't say they wrong but I wouldn't say they are correct. But I've learned a lot between the study guide and this exam prep book.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017I'm very disappointed with this book. I wanted to test myself to see if I'm ready to pass the PTCE and also just do some practicing. However, many of these questions are very poorly worded leaving you wondering what they are asking.
Some examples:
1. "Which is an abbreviation used for a nursing unit in the hospital?" A) ATC B) ENDO C) STAT D) TID"
They actually want to know an abbreviation for a TYPE of nursing unit.
2. "Which incident helped to pass the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act o 1938?"
Although the answer here is the Sulfanilamide Tragedy. It is not an accurate question. That tragedy influenced the INTRODUCTION of the FD&CA but did not "help to pass it".
And, many of the questions are just plain WRONG!!!
Some examples:
1. "How many digits does an NDC number consist of? A) nine B) ten C) twelve D) eight"
The answer is TEN or ELEVEN (which isn't even a choice here). Computer systems used in pharmacies require 11 digits because of a CMS requirement. Most drug products have 11 digit NDCs (though some do have ten).
2. "Which of the following is NOT required on a non-controlled hard copy? A) patient's name B) prescriber's DEA number C) patient's phone number D) prescriber's name"
The REAL answer is BOTH B & C but this book tells you that the patient's phone number is required which is NOT true!
I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this. And, if any of you have any suggestions for a better book, please, please reply and tell us all. I'm looking for a practice test book and this is my 2d purchase and 2d big disappointment!
